There is a girl kindergarten teacher who changed her childhood dream.
She is Ri Kwang Yon, a teacher of the Jangsan Kindergarten in Sosong District of the capital city of Pyongyang.
"When I was young, my dream was to become a famous dancer.
But now I have a dream to bring up many talented dancers and give pleasure to the respected fatherly Marshal Kim Jong Un."
Ri Kwang Yon soloed the "Janggu Dance" in front of Kim Jong Un who visited the Mangyongdae Schoolchildren's Palace on May 30, 2014.
That day, Kim Jong Un watched her solo dance and gave a big hand to her before anybody else.
He wiped the sweat from her face, saying she is really a talent and it is necessary to train a lot of such talents. And he had a picture taken with her.
He is most pleased to see talented children and provides them with all conditions so that they can fully learn and develop their talents at the schoolchildren's palaces and other extracurricular educational bases.
Growing under his care are many talents such as little artists, calligraphers and musical players.
Ri Kwang Yon says:
"I still remember Marshal Kim Jong Un who was pleased to see me dancing 10 years ago. I made up my mind to train a lot of talented dancers thinking that he would be very happy when a larger number of little geniuses in dance are produced rather than I become a famous dancer."
